I had a fun with with the #ImpactCloud partners at Box and Okta going over the IT Systems Heatmap and providing a little overview of our Box structure at Oktane20.
Here is the recording from that session:
IT Systems To Functions HeatMap Tool
Just a sample of the beginnings of what an organizations map could look like The initial systems to functions heatmap tool concept was really brought to me in an engagement with Rippleworks and the amazing Anisha Vaswani. I took the initial concept Anisha modeled for me and ran with it a bit for nonprofits. The concept is actually pretty simple. You isolate the departmental functions of the...

SSH Honeypot Cowrie Session Video
I had a ssh honeypot running a few months ago for a couple of weeks and while most session playbacks are just rapid fire scripts from bots trying to plant crypto mining software, I did have a few humans kicking around in there. I had a colleague login and kick the tires and shared the video back to him. Here is the video to give you a sense of what the ssh session looks and feels like. Disclaimer...

For whatever reason, the default distributed postfix filter I had on my fail2ban setup on ubuntu was not triggering on: 450 4.1.1 Receipient address rejected: unverified address: unknown user mail.log errors.

Setting up a killswitch for attacks with ufw and fail2ban on Linux
Who doesn’t love fail2ban? I know I do.

If you are using fail2ban to...
Workaround for the Jitterbit Harmony Studio with NetSuite Custom Segments Issue
I’ve run Jitterbit Harmony with various integrations for a few years now and have had no issues until recently selecting Custom Segment objects from NetSuite for searches, upserts, etc. I’m unsure if NetSuite 2019.1 changes, the NetSuite API changes, or recent versions of Jitterbit Harmony Agents and Studio have caused the recent problems around the inability to select NetSuite Custom...
Tides Success Story with Jonathan Mergy @ Salesforce.org
Forgot about the interview and discussion we had back in late 2017 with Salesforce.org on everything we have built at Tides. It’s funny, we’ve built and done so much more since then and are in the process of a massive grants management system as well.
TAG Webinar: Why Multi-Factor Authentication Matters
People have asked about the Technology Association of Grantmakers cybersecurity webinar from April 2019. John Mohr, Ann Puckett, and I did a webinar for the community on multi-factor authentication importance and strategies on how to fold it into the work we need to do to keep our communities safe in the age of cyber-warfare.

TAG Spotlight: Jonathan Mergy
TAG did a wonderful spotlight on me a while back. Really well done. This was early on in our membership with TAG. Since then, I have really found it to be even more of a wonderful group and stepped into a Board role with TAG.
